Rating: - Great book...
I can recommend this book to all who are trying to up their points on the ACT. My daughter loved it. It gives lots of great tips on reading better for speed and knowledge.
Rating: - Great Improvement in ACT score
This book helped my daughter raise her ACT score 4 points, with the largest improvement being in reading. A great resource. Recommend it highly.
Rating: - Great
So after taking my first ACT, I was surprised to find my reading sub-score to be the lowest. After a momentary loss of sanity I decided it would be best for me just to get help rather than belly-ache. I chose this book because it seemed like an easy and effective tool that was exactly what I was looking for. This book raised my reading score significantly, and its no longer the lowest (blast that Math). Buy it if you struggled on the ACT reading, it provides advise and test-taking strategies.

A must-buy for the ACT. If you only buy one book to prepare for this test, make sure it's this one. The strategies are specific and useful. No wasteful filler like you find in the other prep books. The authors tell you exactly what to do to increase your score. And the book is fun to read.
